Obscured chapter 19 of @illisius

“Let go, Harry.”

Harry’s green eyes darted, gasping, locking on Snape’s. Somehow, he knew exactly what the man meant, but he shook his head, terrified. He couldn’t— he wasn’t supposed to— he couldn’t let go of the Otherness, of the Obscurus. The whole world was afraid of him, afraid of the monster that an Obscurial could become, and he was afraid of it too. He couldn’t be sure he wouldn’t hurt Snape, that he wouldn’t be caught in the crossfire, that he wouldn’t kill him, but it didn’t matter. Not to Snape.

Because Harry still had a chance to live.

And Snape was willing to risk everything, to take it.

He held the boy’s gaze, full of tears, “Let go, Harry — let go!”

New sketch based on a part of the chapter 19 of @illisius amazing fanfic Obscured on AO3 .....I choose this scene because it really touched me in the heart ❤️🥺

[seaskate]

What makes me angry with Dumbledore (part of it anyways, there's a lot of reasons to be mad at him) is that he saw first hand with his sister and nephew both what happens when a magical person feels the need to repress their magic. He knew, and he still ran the risk of Harry becoming an obscurial.

He wasn't ignorant, he knew that Harry would be unhappy with the Dursleys. Random Hufflepuffs in second year knew that Harry hated his muggle family, so he must have too. He knew about the cupboard under the stairs.

He knew all of this and yet he sent Harry there and kept sending him back.

[liquidluckandstuff]

Adding lore in hindsight can be damning. Just look at Dumbledore.

This man had a sister who was an obsucrial and a nephew. His ex love interest knew they were powerful and went after one to fuck with Dumbledore.

So here you have this canonical GENIUS of a man who has a "love above all else" mentality, and you're telling me he doesn't know about obscurials enough to say "hey maybe putting this boy with people who hate magic is a bad idea."

See, because with all that stuff added afterwards, this genius man with family members who have suffered this offlicition, would have most CERTAINLY learned all he could about obscurials.

Because why would he want that to happen again? He's already had so much heartbreak over what damage they can do to the people he loves and being used as a pawn in a WAR.

So then sure, he might not have wanted Harry to know he was a wizard or who he was so it didn't make him a brat. But his relatives could have just said "hey you're a wizard" and left the rest a secret.

But then it leaves room for a far more upsetting truth, which was that Dumbledore knew what would happen otherwise. If Harry knew he was a wizard and with his muggles HATING magic, Dumbledore 100% knew what would have happened.

He knew what those muggles were going to do, and took steps to assure Harry wouldn't become an obsucrial.

Now its fucked up, and taking the stance "He HAD to put him there because it was the only safe place to keep him away from dark wizards" maybe Dumbledore didn't want to see Harry suffering being an obscurial on top of everything else.

It was a very fucked up, maybe, small act of kindness. Because either 1. Harry would have died from the obscurial before he got to hogwarts thus causing some MAJOR problems in the wizarding world.

2. Harry would have lived a little longer to learn what was wrong with him and this poor boy would have suffered so much more.

3. Harry would have lived a little longer, wanted revenge, and then you have an obscurial teaming up with a dark lord all over again

4. some forth other thing i haven't thought of yet.

Anyways, Dumbledore 100% knew what would have happened if Harry knew about his magic from all the back lore that was added. It changed his character and it makes his character less "just morally gray".

[myths0f01d]

Would anyone be interested in reading a fic where Harry Potter is an obscurial?

Respectably some tags would be dark Harry, slytherin Harry. So forth.

Also would be drarry.

There would be wolfstar and Regulus living.

And obviously Dumbledore bashing.

And maybe Snape adopting Harry.

Writing ideas or something, pt. 2/?

DPxHP: Obscurials are a kind of Halfa.

The "lore" behind this is basically that a halfa is any ghost killed by ectoplasm (rather than something caused by portals). For Danny, that was electrified ectoplasm; for obscurials, magic is a stand-in for ectoplasm (or a form of it). They're a naturally unstable kind of ghost because their magic never stops killing them - like if a ghost was allergic to ectoplasm. You can't be allergic to yourself.

The story would have a "pay it forward" theme; newly-turned halfa Danny is helped by an obscurial, which introduces him to others who don't fit the dead/alive binary. This can pan out to him having a better idea of helping Dani (due to prior knowledge of destabilization in ghosts) and then Dani meeting obscurials in her travels and doing what she can to help them.

This could also pan out into a Ghost King ordeal and him going "there are a lot of things I could do with this kind of power, but let's start with helping the ghosts who have an actually time-sensitive problem."

[lolathestoryteller]

I imagine Ariana was incredibly brave, but due to her early childhood trauma, never really got to prove this to herself. Instead, her magic turned against her in her refusal to ever use it again.

Or; The tragically overlooked story of a very underrated character.

Obscurial; is the person whose body is a host for the obscurus.

Obscurus; an unstable, uncontrollable dark force that bursts out and attacks, and then vanishes.

The obscurus is created as a manifestation of a young witch or wizard’s repressed energy (magic).

Harry Potter thought he was no longer an Obscurial until a meeting with Voldemort ripped open old wounds. Turns out, he thought wrong, and the Obscurus's power has only grown with his.

Ruby finally embraces her Seer abilities and T. M. Riddle finds himself nearing the conclusion of a journey that begun more than fifty years ago. Hogwarts becomes more dangerous than ever as dark forces threaten to penetrate it once again. Meanwhile, Lily Evans may have one last card to play from the afterlife...

Lord Voldemort makes a last push to defeat his old teacher and decide the fate of the wizarding world. Both the Order and the Death Eaters prepare themselves for the incoming chaos, but beware… not everyone can be trusted; regardless of what side you're on.

Powerful Harry Potter fic recs

Master of Death Harry:

1.The Waves of Time and Death by comuniel

After a new friend makes himself known, and after the revelation about those who have lied to him since his entering in the Wizarding World, Harry decides that, for once, he'll do things his way.

Travelling through time, Harry will reshape the world, and align himself with new friends, making those who have wronged him in his past life pay for their mistakes.

2. Life, death, and chocolate frogs by drifting_melody

In every universe, every timeline, the soul of Harry Potter is the Master of Death. This is one universe where Death takes an interest.

For as long as Harry could remember, the shadows had eyes. Not real eyes, of course - not all the time, anyway. She just got a sort of… impression… from them. Darkness was safety; darkness was security. The shadows had eyes, and they followed her, but Harry knew they meant no harm.

3. Come on Baby, Don't Fear the Reaper by whatamidoing

Harry Potter was never destined to be the golden boy; he was not supposed to be anyone's Savior. He was destined to be their king.

Obscurial Harry

1.Two Sides of the Same Coin by Igothomework

What if as a result of living with the Dursleys for 11 years, Harry becomes an obscurial?

Fear and terror grip the wizarding world, as they will soon have to grapple with the possibility that their once beloved hero is becoming another Dark Lord, whether they like it or not.

Featuring a manipulative Voldemort, a shadow that won't go away, a struggling Order and many bad choices.

Or when Harry loses control and winds down a path darker than he ever thought he’d go down.

2. Grindelwald Adopts the Master of Death  by PinkAvidReader

Harry Potter is the Master of Death and, as such, an immortal. He has reincarnated into the past, future, other dimensions, and countless other impossibilities. Suffice to say, Harry Potter has lived many, many lives, and - this time - he gets to choose where he goes.

There's just one catch: He always starts out as a baby, and this life will be no different.

Grindelwald was not expecting for there to be a child in the villa - an infant, really. He'd entered the room after hearing a faint cry, and the juvenile simply stared up at him with wide, emerald eyes, head tilted in what could only be guileless curiosity. And then the boy, no older than three, turned into a fine, black mist that darted out of sight.

3. tired even for a phoenix by blue_llama (kensington_and_cleo)

Abandoned in Privet Drive the summer after fourth year, Harry discovers a new ability. This, plus his accidental expulsion from Hogwarts, will lead to changes once he returns to school.

A resorting fic.

Dark Lord Harry

1.A Very Murderous Harry Potterby ATiredAndDeadWriter

Growing up the way he did, it was no wonder Harry turned out the way he did. Killing your relatives at the tender age of six years old changes a person, and yet Harry never regretted it for a single moment.

Harry Potter is very different than they were expecting.

They never could've seen it coming.

2. Amongst Men by Kieve

Harry has done what everyone else wanted his entire life, including die for them. Death thinks that if anyone deserves a second chance it’s Harry. Truth is, he was never meant to be the hero. He was meant to be so much more

Death Eater Harry

1.Dreaming Souls by Poetryobsessedbi

They say that you dream about your soulmate's life. Flashes of what they did that day or a week before. Harry has been dreaming for as long as he remembers. Dreams of death, of magic and friendship. With the cruel life he saw during the day and the cruel life he sees in the night, is it such a surprise that Harry isn't a Gryffindor but a Slytherin? That he isn't the perfect poster boy. That after seeing Dumbledore through his soulmate's eyes, that he doesn't love him like he was supposed to? Follow Harry and his friends through his years at Hogwarts, where he chooses to stand beside his soulmate in all his endeavours, to help him. Will they manage to rule together?

2. The Twisted Path by DearClara

In fourth year, Barty Crouch Jr made a different decision. A decision that would change the Wizarding World forever.

From the time Harry Potter was 11 years old, he became what people expected of him; Gryffindor Golden Boy, Saviour, Boy-Who-Lived, so like his father but with his mother's eyes. But that wasn’t the real Harry Potter. Ten years spent in a cupboard with abusive relatives changes a person. It’s just a shame that Dumbledore didn’t realise this until it was far too late.

Creature Harry

1.Werewolves in Little Whinging by Cedar_Forest_Trail

Dementors didn’t attack Harry in Little Whinging that fateful night. Instead, a far more dangerous creature waited in the shadows, and it will change everything.

2. Is It Really For The 'Greater Good'? by Rieji_Kronin

Harry's been betrayed by those who he calls his 'most trusted ones' so with the help of a few powerful entities they decided to redo it all over again with a couple of changes. If James didn't have his wand on the previous timeline on this one he has. See how Harry destroys the traitors especially the old fucker.

[dragoneyes618]

An Obscurial is a child who repressed his or her magic out of fear or persecution. The magic ends up poisoning the child from the inside; most Obscurials are dead by the age of ten.

Ariana Dumbledore was an Obscurial, due to being attacked and traumatized by three Muggle boys at the age of six. She refused to use her magic, and “it turned inward and drove her mad.”

 Albus Dumbledore noted that Obscurials could be cured by replacing their feelings of alienation with belonging. Credence Barebone, living with Mary Lou until his midtwenties - shockingly old for an Obscurial - never had that.

But what about Ariana? Ariana lived the rest of her life with her mother and her brothers who loved her and cared about her, in a wizarding house where nobody would have been shunned for using magic. Her attack was only a onetime incident, and there were years afterward for her to slowly heal. Did her feelings of alienation, of persecution, of fear and abnormality truly last all that time?

Maybe she was healing. Ariana lived to fourteen, after all, despite most Obscurials dying by ten. Maybe, given more time, her magic would have healed.

But then Gellert Grindelwald came over, and Aberforth confronted him and Albus, and Ariana came down the stairs to intervene in the following magical battle.

Abwesenheit der Liebe, ein Obscurial wird geboren

For @biscaanii 's - The Eleventh Summer

[disorganizedkitten]

Every child (or so William assumes, in the childlike way of assuming everyone has the same worldview and experiences he does) has wondered, at some point, if they were secretly adopted. Far fewer children wonder if they have a secret twin. When he’s older and has developed more of his wonderful little brain, he might try to explain why. Might wonder what it says about him and his parents that he suspected himself of not truly being their child. That’s less important, though. Because no matter how many times he asks his parents and uncles and aunts, he’s always reassured he is his parent’s true child. Perhaps that’s why William Potter was blindsided when he found out he wasn’t their only child.

Fem!Obscurial!Harry dies in fourth year from the stress of being entered into the tournament against her will, becomes a ghost, and falls in love with Myrtle. Probably in that order.

Listen. L i s t e n . I know this is, like, a really weird angle. It's deeply sad for several reasons and leaves way too many plotholes and is generally awful. But. BUT! It's also one of the fluffiest ideas I've ever had, and I think it's actually kind of cute.

It's also at least a little bit funny that literally everyone would be Freaking tf Out, pointing blame, throwing accusations, grieving, etc., and Harry's over here having the time of her (after)life, falling in love, and not giving a shit about the international incident unfolding around her.
